Make Your Own Jewellery Work Bench

[@kin4351]

Thirty eight years as a jobbing jeweller and I’ve got to say that flat head screw to open close jump rings is genius! Always something new to learn.

[@DiamondMounter]

Its a good trick! Was very useful when I was doing lots of repair work

[@amirhoseinrahimy6756]

"this job-jewelry-has never end!" an old persian jeweller told to me he's a jeweller for 60 years. he stared jewelry when he was a 7years old boy

The screw idea for jump rings is brilliant! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@kristibbradshaw]

The screw for opening and closing jump rings is so great. Thank you.

[@DiamondMounter]

Thanks I learned it from an old jeweller who was about to retire as I started my apprentiship. RIP Roy Woolford

I made my own bench as well. I started with a thrifted desk from the fifties with three drawers on each side and a wide one in the middle, I took the top of it, which was some crumbly composite material, put plywood over the side drawers. I made a frame from planks that I put atop and around the sides and back, to get the height I needed. Then I scored a huge, 4 cm thick solid pine coffe table for the top. The middle drawer is exposed and catches all the filings. 👍 I love it, it’s called Frankie, as in the “frankenbench”.

[@sheena8869]

Going to do your pockets idea. Like your jumping opener! Just setting up my bench now. Was good to be told you can do the bench the way you want it

[@alexihunt101]

Would be interesting to hear your story of why you moved to Japan and how (I know they have such an incredible craft culture!)

[@eligijamaciulyte9732]

Thank you for your amazing tips! They are extremely helpful! Now I can start thinking of building up my own bench. I don't need necessarily buy a "jeweler bench" or "a jeweler lamp" etc. :)

[@alvinadesir5801]

Made my own and eyeballs the depth and width, jigsaw... perfect... thanks telling viewers, to snap out if rigid thinking of what size it should be.. Thankyou x

[@corycarmeandrum]

Got me wanting to make my own custom bench now and get rid of the prefab ones I have! Also, please do a full studio tour when you get it all set up! I would love to see how you place everything around the room for your workflow!

Getting better each day. Thank you for sharing.

[@olegpetelevitch4443]

I used an old hard wood door then made 4 by 4 legs ! And bedside draws on each side !

[@DiamondMounter]

That sounds ideal. Id love a door benchtop!

[@lorraine8368]

Thanks for this! Love the screw tip, gonna get one into my bench👍

[@moghrid]

I'm almost finished with my bench which I've built in the blind for way to long! Can you please travel back in time and post this 1 month ago?

[@DiamondMounter]

[@mattblaszak1976]

love all your videos. Thanks for always putting out such great content.

[@rexgeorg7324]

That was brill Chris

[@marenc9648]

Hello, thank you for the video. As I have only little space I build my own bench it is abort 90 cm wide and 100 cm high. I think it is a little too high. 😇😁. When I'm sitting on a kitchen chair the bench top is at my armpit. Is there a formel for the exact high? Have a nice Sunday. Greetings from Germany Maren

[@qualitycoinringsnz]

Thanks for sharing definitely helpful as I'm a beginner 👌🏾

[@fallensway855]

Perfect timing thank you ☺️

[@ravenfury77]

[@robhodgins3320]

Thanks Chris, really useful 👍

[@amirhoseinrahimy6756]

so so useful wow🔥

[@loisr1560]

I started 15 months ago. Im short but would like to be higher at my bench. I only have an ikea table which is not stable. One day will get a better bench.

[@DiamondMounter]

You can reenforce it with stronger legs and a thicker top maybe

[@evershernandez7130]

Great content, loving every video! Thanks alot

[@DiamondMounter]

Welcome!

[@sobrietytv8754]

Thanks for this video, it is really helpful. I worked as duct fitter for 25 years so am used to manipulating metal on a bigger scale. I am in the middle of a 3d modelling course and have applied for an art and design-jewellery course after. Could you tell me the best course I should do to become a jeweller and how long it takes? I plan to start on a very amateur scale pretty much immediately, perhaps just buying broken jewellery and fixing it. Just subscribed and may join you on patreon.👍

[@DiamondMounter]

Yo Good luck with the courses. I dont know about others but I am working on my own. They should be available in a few months. I recommend just getting started! Experience is the only way to learn

[@sobrietytv8754]

@@DiamondMounter thank you, much appreciated. 👍

[@NewLife-qj9mx]

I went to a big box store and found a damaged 10' length of kitchen countertop - 30% off because it was damaged 😏 I like having a curb on the back of my work surface, and a rounded front edge.

[@DiamondMounter]

sounds ideal!

[@DEADHAND_SLINGSHOT]

Yes you offended a carpenter and think miniature work is compicated😂 anyway thumb up cause you don't know it better😉

[@DiamondMounter]

Im well aware me and my jigsaw and bag of screws isnt really what carpentry is about lol

[@michelleknight7362]
